Hypovolemic shock etiology

List the most common etiologies of decreased intravascular volume in hypovolemic shock patients. [Pg.195]

The principal function of the circulatory system is to supply oxygen and vital metabolic substrates to cells throughout the body, as well as removal of metabolic waste products. Circulatory shock is a life-threatening condition whereby this principal function is compromised. When circulatory shock is caused by a severe loss of blood volume or body water it is called hypovolemic shock, the focus of this chapter. Regardless of etiology, the most distinctive manifestations of hypovolemic shock are arterial hypotension and metabolic acidosis. Metabolic acidosis is a consequence of an accumulation of lactic acid resulting from tissue hypoxia and anaerobic... [Pg.195]
